Maybe This Is a Metaphor for Being a BiS Fan Anymore

I really wanted to give BiS crap about doing that “never title your thing in a way that’s easy to ironically mock” thing from the very second that “I can’t say NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” was announced, but I moreso really wanted to be happy and satisfied about getting invested in this whole BiSusiness and sticking up for probably the most influential idol project for my turn as a fan, not to mention the thousands of people for whom idol is a much more immediate and impactful part of their lives. I was ready to get some knives ready for this one, you know? Just in case. Either cut it to ribbons in disappointment or defend it unto the death.

What a weird-ass video! It’s like Pour Lui decided one day that she wanted to send up certain cheesy idol MV tropes, but also wanted to add some commentary on … something? idol maybe? and asked for a couple of horror / thriller additions, but didn’t communicate that to wardrobe very well. Hence, we get RennaiBiS outfits and Kika in clown makeup and a kid whose imprisonment would probably be a lot cooler if his droogs were there with him.

As for the song, I started off kind of mad about it — rather than just be a new version of a standard Matsukuma template, this one’s more like “we took elements of those couple of other songs (but oddly not) and made one song” — but came around. If New BiS is going to eschew a new path to being legendary ass-kickers, at least let them be weird and occasionally a little experimental.
